Subject: [ruby-core:38467] [Ruby 1.9 - Bug #5091] Can't require './.testrb'


Issue #5091 has been updated by Eric Hodel.


For require the filename must end in .rb, .so, .dll, .dylib, etc.

load will work with any file extension.

Bug #5091: Can't require './.testrb'

Just ran across this oddity. I made a local configuration file called `.testrb`, but I can't require it.

  > require './.testrb'
  LoadError: no such file to load -- ./.testrb

Just to make sure I did not mess up somehow, I renamed it to `.rbtest` and it worked fine. I change it back and still no go.

I tried it under 1.9.2 and 1.8.7, both failed to require the file.
